Syria’s military appeared unwilling to go back to their ultimatum to demand an evacuation, and just attacked outright. At least 36 were killed, and 40 according to some reports, as airstrikes and ground forces advanced on the city.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claims 14,000 rebel fighters left in the city. It seems such fighters are not going to be able to prevent the military retaking the city, especially with the rest of the area having fallen.
